How to tell if a man is an unrepentant rogue:

1. He has no patience for frivolous debutantes
   
2. He kisses you after a single dance
   
3. He makes you forget yourself and kiss him back . . .

After years away from London, Captain Bennett Wolfe is back--and alive, much to Society's surprise. Having been presumed dead, this rugged adventurer is now much sought after by every marriage-minded young woman . . . but Bennett only has eyes for the intriguing Lady Phillipa Eddison.

Phillipa would rather read than flirt, but she does know a thing or two about proper courtship rituals. A gentleman does not kiss a lady senseless, and he certainly does not bring his pet monkey when he comes calling. Lady Phillipa's ever been so scandalized . . . or tempted. She simply must teach Bennett some manners--before she succumbs to temptation as wild as the man who offers it.
